Peach Yogurt Bread with Cinnamon

August 28, 2013 by Cate 25 Comments

Fresh peaches really shine in this Peach Yogurt Bread with Cinnamon. Yogurt keeps it moist and healthy – a perfect light treat for summer!

I love peaches. They are my absolute favorite fruit (strawberries are a close second) and I really can’t get enough of them in the summer when they are so sweet and juicy. Growing up in St. Louis I was always so excited when the Eckert’s (a local farm with all kinds of fresh fruit) peaches were in season. I actually brought a bag of them back with me from St. Louis last week! Now that is dedication. Or obsession… …

Skinny Peanut Butter Brownies

August 22, 2013 by Cate 16 Comments

These Skinny Peanut Butter Brownies have no flour, no butter, and no oil – but they still taste absolutely amazing!! Chocolate peanut butter lovers will go crazy for them!

After the not-so-light recipe I posted earlier this week, I have something a little bit healthier for you today. But I promise, these skinny brownies taste amazing!! I was skeptical when I first saw this recipe – I mean how can you make a brownie without oil or butter? But I was intrigued so decided to try it out. And wow, am I glad I did. These brownies are amazing!! They are so moist and fudgy – and the peanut butter swirl just puts them over the top! As a bonus, they are so pretty! I felt like a kid in art class making the marble swirl of PB on top of the batter. …

Gooey Butter Cake

August 20, 2013 by Cate 19 Comments

I spent this past weekend visiting my family in my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. I always like to bake something when I am there (more people to eat my food!) so I decided to make a St. Louis original – Gooey Butter Cake! This cake is usually eaten as a breakfast coffee cake, and as the name indicates, it is rich!! The legend of the Gooey Butter Cake is that it was first made in the 1930s by accident. A German American baker in South St. Louis reversed the proportions of sugar and flour while trying to make regular cake batter, and the rest is history. (Read more about it here). There are several different recipes out there for this cake. The version that I grew up eating has a thin layer of dense, moist cake on the bottom and then is topped with a gooey, buttery filling. Yes, it is made with cake mix which some people might think is cheating. But I say why not take a little help when you can get it! This recipe came from my mom’s cousin, although it is very similar to Paula Dean’s recipe …

Bacon Bread

August 15, 2013 by Cate 24 Comments

The title of this entry says it all for this one: Bacon.Bread. Delicious, fluffy bread with tons of bacon baked inside. Does it get any better? I really don’t think so. I’m pretty sure TheBetterHalf would be happy if this was the only bread I ever baked going forward. I mean what is not to love about three quarters of a pound of bacon being added to your bread dough? And imagine the sandwich possibilities with this loaf. A turkey sandwich…on bacon bread. A grilled cheese with tomato…on bacon bread. A BLT!….on bacon bread. What doesn’t sound better when you put it on bacon bread? I think even a PB&J would be phenomenal on this bread. I may or may not have tried that….TheBetterHalf was grossed out, but I thought it was amazing! The sweet and salty combo, mmmm….

Peachberry Buckle (Peach Blueberry Coffee Cake)

August 13, 2013 by Cate 8 Comments

My absolute favorite fruit to eat in the summertime is a ripe peach (or nectarine – to me they are interchangeable!). They are so sweet and juicy – I just can’t get enough of them. And berries are a close second, so when I saw a recipe for a peachberry buckle on King Arthur Flour, I just knew I had to make it! They made up a word that fuses together my two favorite fruits, how could I not try it?! If you are wondering what the heck a buckle is, it is just a coffee cake made with fresh fruit. This version has a very light and fluffy cake layered with sweet peaches and berries and topped with a delicious cinnamon crumb topping. It is heavenly! The fruit keeps the cake moist and gives it an amazing flavor. You can use any kind of berry that you want. I used blueberries in mine and it turned out really well. The crumb topping has a splash of almond extract – you can omit this if you aren’t a fan of that flavor. This buckle / coffee cake is a perfect way to highlight summer’s delicious fruits! …
